Monday 19th March 2012.

Awoke early ,cold still bad but on the up note the weather is glorious,bright warm sunshine with little wind at all,we dropped the boys at school and then we attended the class assenbly for jack,it was all about india and the kids all showed what they had been doing,jack made an incredibly good elephant out of clay,when we got back home shawn was here ,so we had breakfast then i got sarah to drop me off with my kit at shearwater for a session sat in the sun,it was glorious,i took scooby with me and she did an excellent job at keeping the ducks away from the swim,the air was full of the busy chatter of the finches in the trees and the crows nesting in the beeches too.managed to hook 2 big carp but they got off,this scared them off for a couple of hours,sarah poped back with skippy and then took the dogs for an amble round the lake,mean time i landed a common carp of about 11 lb,it faught well and when landed i saw it was the very same fish i caught on a previous session.
